Arua Hill Sports Club are turning their focus to talent development in new partnership.

FUFA has replaced Arua Hill with Soltilo Bright Stars in the FUFA Super 8 tournament.

FUFA has dumped Arua Hill out of the Super Eight tournament after failing to comply with the club licensing requirements in time.

The federation directed the Uganda Premier League to exclude the Kongolo together with Busoga United from the league fixtures and gave them a seven-day window to appeal.

FUFA has now moved to live their threat by eliminating the team from the preseason tournament and replacing them with Bright Stars.
